The group had been reunited.
Gu Qing Shan pointed at the pair of horns and blade next to Su Xue Er and asked: “What’s going on over there?”
Su Xue Er explained what happened earlier.
Gu Qing Shan pondered: “Why didn’t you use them in the desperate situation earlier?”
Su Xue Er appeared cautious and explained: “They’ve only just faced a battle of life and death against me, but as soon as their masters were killed, they tried to accept me as their new master”
Gu Qing Shan looked at her and gestured for her to continue.
Su Xue Er continued: “If they were acting, I definitely shouldn’t use them; if they weren’t acting, then their attitude towards their masters was too heartless, they might have something else in mind, so I wouldn’t dare use them”
Gu Qing Shan relaxed his expression: “Xue Er, you’ve really grown”
Sha!
With a curt sound of a slash, Gu Qing Shan’s hand and sword disappeared for a brief moment before they reappeared.
A cold flash of light swept through both, the horns and the horse-headed blade.
How fast!
Everyone had the same thought.
Two desperate screams resounded at once.
They were struck by the Earth sword, completely slain.
“Huh? Weren’t they artifacts of Huang Quan? What’s going on?” Su Xue Er asked.
Gu Qing Shan explained: “When I killed that demonic gate just now, I discovered their secret——- the true Divine Armaments of Huang Quan had already returned to their respective worlds right as they were defeated, these two were fakes”
『 What were they exactly? 』Sha Qiang couldn’t help but cut in.
“They were the two who were killed by Su Xue Er, right before they completely died, apparently they were able to perform a technique turning them into the Divine Armaments in order to deceive other people for their survival”
As he explained this, Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized.
Right.
That’s very similar to [Mystery of All Beings Equal]
What kind of technique is this?
——three different people all have the same secret technique that’s similar to [Mystery of All Beings Equal], could it be this Mystery is common in the Huang Quan realm fragment?
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and stopped thinking about this matter.
This isn’t the time for that.
He called out: “Can a pixie come here?”
A pixie then flew over to him with their glowing magic staff.
Gu Qing Shan spoke to the sprite of light: “The battle is over, so you don’t have to be in so much hurry with your Divine Artifact anymore, get someone to help me heal the wounded first”
——-all of Laura’s most precious healing serums were created by the pixies, but their healing spells and techniques were even more potent.
Unfortunately, normal people wouldn’t even be able to see a pixie, let alone ask them for healing.
But now, Gu Qing Shan had become an ally of the pixies and even gifted them the Quipwood, as well as repelling all of the enemies for them, so his request was naturally heeded by the pixies.
Several sprites of light wrote something in the air:
[Please wait a moment, we will be able to activate the Divine Artifact soon]
Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask: “What kind of Divine Artifact is it?”
[A Spatial Divine Artifact]
The sprites of light returned to the pixies.
A few moments later, all the sprites of light parted ways.
The darkness itself receded to both sides like a pair of curtains.
The appearance of another world was displayed in front of everyone.
——-a luxurious palace, numerous floating structures, a sea of trees rich with greenery, and numerous strange and unusual creatures.
“The Kingdom of Pixies!” Hazeden exclaimed in excitement.
This was an extremely rare sight, very few people had ever witnessed the true kingdom of pixies.
A pixie who donned a crown and a wonderful small moustache flew out from inside.
Numerous pixies followed behind him, all of them donning luxurious formal clothes and a short club in their hands.
This pixie cleared his throat and loudly declared: “All of those who fought by our pixie ancestor’s side, you will have the eternal friendship of us pixies!”
Hazeden, Guyan, and Sha Qiang all smiled.
A normal person wouldn’t be able to even see a pixie, nor would they dare to offend them.
Their treasures might be worth an astronomical amount, but their friendship was even more priceless.
Because as long as this friendship existed, they would be able to contact and trade with them at any time!
This was the kind of treatment that every country, kingdom, and race dreamed of.
After that declaration, the pixie looked around and asked in confusion:
“Then, my father’s father’s father’s father’s father, may I ask where you are?”
There was no answer, only sprites of flames flickered in and out of existence.
A small pixie whispered to him: “Your majesty, they’re currently souls”
The king tapped his head before swinging the short club in his hand: “The most precious materials are still being kept by the dragons, so our ancestors, please bear with some wooden bodies for now, we shall resolve this issue immediately after this!”
“——go go, puppet bodies!”
With a series of consecutive tiny noises, the long-bearded old man and the countless pixies who followed him appeared.
They now all had wooden bodies.
The long-bearded old man signaled his descendants not to say anything yet.
He grabbed the pixie king’s short club and chanted an incantation towards Su Xue Er:
“Kadabra bradaka”
“Your arm will grow longer and longer, enough to grab a broom to beat a mouse”
“Your body will be stronger and stronger, like a big boar of the forest!”
Poof!
A puff of white smoke exploded around Su Xue Er.
Su Xue Er was surprised to find that her amputated arm had already returned, all of her wounds were also fully healed.
The long-bearded old man slightly lowered himself, bowing to her:
“Miss, your arm has been imbued with anti-magic properties and new vitality, if you ever run into a bad guy, you can use it to hit your enemy directly——– by the way, you were truly very brave just now, such bravery that touches the heart of us all, would you be willing to become a pixie?”
Su Xue Er knew that the thought process of pixies and humans were completely different, so she didn’t say much else, only thanking him and replying: “It’s ok, I still want to remain a human, thank you very much for healing my wounds”
The long-bearded old man slightly nodded before flying in front of Gu Qing Shan.
“Young man, if it weren’t for your efforts, us pixies would have had no hope at all, helplessly eaten by the Heavenly King Mara”
Gu Qing Shan smiled: “There’s no need to be so formal, it was because we mutually helped one another that we managed to achieve such a feat”
The long-bearded old man sighed, then continued: “Would you be willing to take a princess of the pixie as your wife?”
Gu Qing Shan’s smile froze.
Su Xue Er secretly pinched his hip with the hand that she just regrew.
“That won’t be necessary” Gu Qing Shan silently clenched his fists and replied with a stern expression: “I’m a human, so I prefer female humans”
The long-bearded old man appeared regretful and said: “That’s ok, we can talk about this more later on”
His expression suddenly turned cruel.
“Bok-a-bok! Bok-a-bok! Heavenly King Mara, get over here!”
He swung his short club towards the void.
——but nothing happened.
“Strange? Is it no longer in this world?” the long-bearded old man was confused.
Since his enemy had escaped, the long-bearded old man couldn’t really do anything else but return to chat with his descendants.
Su Xue Er handed a handgun over to Gu Qing Shan.
“This is the weapon Impartial Goddess created for you, I borrowed it just now”
Gu Qing Shan pushed the gun back to her and replied: “Use it for your own protection”
“Then what about you?” Su Xue Er asked.
“When I’m unwilling to, no one can ever get close to me even if they tried” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Su Xue Er was glad but still insisted on putting the gun into Gu Qing Shan’s hand.
However, as soon as she let go, the handgun flew back straight into her hand.
The electronic voice then explained:
[This gun has synchronized itself with Su Xue Er’s gene and brainwave signature, currently helping the promotion of Su Xue Er’s genetic evolution, it cannot be used by anyone else]
Su Xue Er no longer declined and put the gun away.
“Qing Shan, what do you plan to do now?” Su Xue Er asked.
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
—–it was finally time for this.
The final battle against the Deity of [Chaos], the Soul Shrieker would soon occur.
This shall be the beginning of a great storm.
I’ve obtained Svalinn, so the next course of action is to save Lady Darksea.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “I need to return to the Bramble Bird Kingdom right away and summon everyone, then return to the past in order to fight against the Soul Shrieker”
Su Xue Er held his hand tightly and spoke with conviction: “I’ll be coming with you”
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
The electronic voice spoke up again: [That is not possible, Su Xue Er, you are currently undergoing a crucial point of your evolution, so taking unnecessary risks is ill-advised. Furthermore, you and I have a much more important mission to accomplish]
“What do you mean?” Su Xue Er asked, a bit displeased.
The electronic voice continued: [Right below our feet is the final war base, a collection of the strongest technological advances of the past Starlight Empire]
“But I can’t access this base—— its central protocol password is most likely with the heir of the empire” Su Xue Er replied.
The electronic voice refuted her: [You are the last remaining heir of the empire, while I have inherited the greatest computational power from Impartial Goddess and have access to all of the empire’s encryption algorithms]
“Then, you mean…”
[You and I will be able to enter the base, with your status and my prowess, we will be able to unlock all of this war base’s power——– then utilize them in the war!]
“That’s a good idea” Su Xue Er’s eyes lit up.
She turned to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan asked: “There won’t be any danger, right?”
The electronic voice replied: [There will not, I am used to such matters. It will only require a bit of time]
“How long?” Gu Qing Shan pursued the question.
The electronic voice replied: [It will be 1-2 days at the fastest and 3-4 days at the latest—— you can return first to gather the necessary personnel; we will then catch up]
“Alright, I’ll leave these Abyssal monsters here. There’s no need to be afraid of them, as the Abyss is currently our ally” Gu Qing Shan replied.
[Hm, please be assured] the electronic voice replied.
